Forecast: Long-term Residence Permits Given to Colombia Citizens in France

As of 2023, the number of long-term residence permits granted to Colombian citizens in France stood at 630. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, there is a gradual decrease observed in the issuance of these permits. The annual decline is marginal, with a year-on-year reduction of approximately 0.64% between 2024 and 2025 and slightly decreasing rates in the subsequent years, showing a continuous, albeit minor, downward trend.

When looking at the longer term, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period indicates a gentle average annual decline of roughly 0.42% per year.

Future trends to watch for include potential changes in French immigration policies, economic conditions in both Colombia and France, and shifts in bilateral relations, all of which could influence the number of permits issued to Colombian citizens. Keep an eye on EU-wide immigration regulations as well, as they may impact immigration patterns to France specifically.
